==What are they?==
Colour codes, as the name suggests, are used to add colour to texts. They have been introduced in Quake III Arena and are available in most Q3-based games, including Enemy Territory. They can be used in most texts that get displayed ingame, such as player names, chat or notices.

'''Usage:''' a dash character ('''^''') followed by another character. Each character produces a different colour.
'''Example:''' ^1red ^2green ^4blue
'''Produces:''' red green blue
==Codes list==
The image below depicts the colours the characters produce, except '''^0''' which, stands for black. Notice that some letters and digits produce the same colour.
